4.0 out of 5 starsDarth Vader clock
-pretty good size-it's just too bad that the time does not light all the time in the dark, or that the numbers are not lit up in red lights. Need to turn on the light/lamp to see the time.

Cons- doesn't function as a clock that well. can't see numbers (number are not lite unless you press the head down so forget about checking the time from across the room unless you have long arms and a small room)- a little unsteady when standing- buzzer's a standard clock sound. how cool if there was deep breathing or the Star Wars tune???- expensive $30 (purchased before Christmas). It's priced at $20 right now (better).

Neither good or bad- our little Vader lights up red unlike the photo shown online - just a little off putting

As novelty alarm clocks go, this is a great one. I'm old enough to have attended the first Star Wars movie without a parent, but Darth is still the ruler of the universe. The clock is simple to operate, even for my ancient eyes. You push down Darth's head to turn on the back light or snooze the alarm and the clock glows pleasantly, if somewhat brightly for a darkened bedroom. My only niggle is that once you are done snoozing, the small slider button on Darth's back is a little small and tricky to reach to turn off the alarm. Darth has ended up on the floor several times in the struggle, but he is sturdy enough to take the fall, so good for younger kids too.

I am a huge Star Wars fan, so this was a no-brainer for me! Although I think this is supposed to be for kids, I am a grandma and I love it! When it is standing it raises the clock part so that I can see the numbers without raising my head from the pillow! I also need a clock with a fairly loud alarm and this one works. It is a great novelty and I am enjoying it.

Some extra features on this thing, like Darth's voice would be amazing, but it's still good. You can set an alarm, tap his head to snooze for five minutes. Only one alarm can be set, and it only has the one option for the alarm sound, but I don't think this is being purchased for it's features, it's being purchased to have a Lego Darth Vader on your nightstand.
